Agree with Silent Spike.
This has a lot of similarities with NaPTAN bus stop imports - conflating
and verification/validation are the difficulties there - looking at the
West Midlands notes may help.
For Leeds with a workforce regularly checking/cleaning bins then perhaps
the tool you are planning to build could add a verification tag & date
for completion on the first visit after an upload.

Hey,
I think this seems like a well planned and researched proposal.
Personally would be happy to see such an import - especially since
you've already got buy-in from the council.
Only really have two questions:
- Has the accuracy of the council data been evaluated at all? I'm
personally of the opinion that mostly accurate data is better than no
data so this is more just a curiosity.
- Could you specify those steps you'd be taking for conflation? I
don't doubt the ability to do so (this seems like a very competent
proposal), but just for transparency of the process.

Hi,
At ODI Leeds <https://odileeds.org/> we’re working with Leeds City
Council to create an up-to-date, open dataset of bins and
recycling points. Different parts of the council have different
datasets about bins and recycling points – e.g the bins around
Leeds market are maintained by a different department. Nobody has
a full, exhaustive list of all of them, so we’d like to get them
all in one place.
We think Open Street Maps would be perfect for this, as it’s ‘open
by default’. We’re building them a tool using the API & OAuth so
that council workers will be able to quickly add bins
(amenity=waste_basket and amenity=recycling) from their phones.
We’d also like to add their existing dataset
<https://datamillnorth.org/dataset/litter-bin-locations>, which is
published under OGLv3, to Open Street Maps. We have buy-in from
Leeds City Council but under the import guidelines
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines> we also
need community buy-in, and we’d really like some feedback from the
OSM community.
Here’s a quick map we made
<https://mapper.odileeds.org/?10/53.85050/-1.47903/datamill-38356ad9-a184-44c1-a4f0-055ac71356ec;osm-leeds-waste_basket>
comparing the Leeds City Council dataset of bins (yellow markers)
to the OSM amenity=waste_baskets for Leeds (black markers). We’re
aware that there is probably duplicates so we’ll be taking steps
to remove those.
We’d appreciate any comments or feedback.
Cheers,
Patrick Lake
